There’s good news this week for New Yorkers looking to improve their quality of life. After 91 years, the “Cabaret Law,” a prohibition on dancing in most establishments that sell food or drink, was repealed Tuesday. It’s now a lot easier for Gothamites to get their groove on — and experience the health benefits that come with cutting a rug.

And if you’re feeling tired — and who isn’t? — a 2007 study in Perceptual and Motor Skills showed that dancing can boost your mood. The findings compared the benefits of hip-hop dancing to much-less-fun aerobics.

It can also help you lose weight. In 2005, Harvard Health Publications found that if a person who weighs 155 pounds boogies at high intensity for thirty minutes, they could burn up to 223 calories — about as much as jogging for the same amount of time.

And if you’re concerned about having a vodka soda at the bar, relax and drink up. According to a 2016 study in British Journal of Sports Medicine, a couple hours of exercise such as dancing each week mitigates the long-term potential effects of booze, such as cancer.

So, go ahead, New Yorkers, and heed the sage advice of ABBA: “You can dance! You can jive! Having the time of your life!”
